=begin pod
BadN<things are happening>.
=end pod
renders as:
Badthings are happening.
While not spec (no tests for N<> yet), the original pod synopsis suggests:
Renderers may render such annotations in a variety of ways: as
footnotes, as endnotes, as sidebars, as pop-ups, as tooltips, as
expandable tags, etc. They are never, however, rendered as unmarked
inline text.
I would suggest that a bare minimum implementation would render this
as a parenthetical:
Bad (things are happening).
